Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A photograph revealing tool comprising: a series of machine instructions stored in a non-transitory medium that when executed by a processor in a computer cause the computer to generate a set of photograph revealing features that can be used to modify a photograph for the purposes of revealing latent figures, the features including: a darkening feature that causes the computer to darken an area of the photograph when activated by a user, a lightening feature that causes the computer to lighten an area of the photograph when activated by a user, a saturation feature that causes the computer to intensify the colors in an area of the photograph when activated by the user, a desaturation feature that causes the computer to dull the colors in an area of the photograph when activated by the user, a facial feature finder grid feature that causes the computer to draw a rotatable and sizeable grid that is roughly shaped like a head with a face, the face comprising continuous contours that define the outline of eyes, nostrils, lips, and ears, and comprising an anchor point at the top of the head from which the rotation and sizing is referenced, wherein the face finder grid overlays the photograph when activated by the user and is transparent between the continuous contours such that the photograph is visible, a magic grid feature that causes the computer to draw horizontal and vertical lines over the photograph when activated by the user, and an undo feature that causes the computer to record the actions of the user and reverses those actions when activated by the user.

5. The tool of claim 1 , wherein the user can adjust the settings of the darkening, lightening, saturate, and desaturate features.
